Ein 🧵 zu den Hauptthesen meines Buches »Die Exponentialgesellschaft« (shrk.vg/Exponential-B ):

1. In mehreren Gesellschaftsbereichen (Wirtschaft, Ökologie, pandemische Krise, Mobilität, Technologie, Demografie, Ungleichheit) haben sich in den letzten Jahr(zehnte)n exponentielle Trends zugespitzt.
Das Cover des Buches "Die Exponentialgesellschaft. Vom Ende des Wachstums zur Stabilisierung der Welt" von Emanuel Deutschmann, erschienen im Suhrkamp Verlag. Das Wort "EXPONENTIAL" formt dabei eine steil nach oben ragende Exponentialkurve. Eine Grafik, die 12 exponentielle Wachstumstrends mit steil nach oben ragenden Kurven zeigt: Weltbevölkerung, Primärenergieverbrauch, globale Wirtschaftskraft, Geldmenge Deutschlands, anthropogene Masse, Plastikproduktion, CO2, Meeresspiegelanstieg, Covid-19, Mikroporzessorleistung, akadeimsche Aufsätze, international Reisende

Bluesky Stabilization. How does it feel?
We are used to unhealthy exponential growth, like CO2, plastic production, the next app that makes a tech broligarch, etc.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Natürlich kann uns Manfred Weber das Aus des Verbrenner-Aus versprechen.

Aber am Ende ist nichts damit gewonnen, sondern viel verloren - der Markt zeigt uns, wieso.

Vielen Dank, eine tolle Rezension! Bei "jungprofessoraler Keckheit" doch sehr geschmunzelt

Mittlerweile sind 7 der 9 kritischen Belastungsgrenzen des Erdsystems überschritten – 1 mehr als im Vorjahr.

Auch wenn mittlerweile rauf und runter gesagt wird, Klima- und Umweltthemen interessiert die Leute nicht: Lasst euch nicht drauf ein.

Schauen wir weiter auf die Daten, so wie hier.

Bei Lektüre von #Exponentialgesellschaft by @deutschmann.bsky.social
viel gelernt über Ökologie, Wachstum, Stabilisierung. Wichtige Denkanstöße. Vor allem bleibt die Frage: Wie soll ich leben? Welche Kompromisse muss ich und muss die Gesellschaft schließen?

See you in Duisburg #DGS2025 bei AmC3

The 100K fee for H-1B visas (yearly!) is reported as a hit on tech -- but it is a hit on universities. It will make it impossible for us to hire foreign visitors, or foreign scholars into tenure track positions--I think almost 40% of H-1Bs go to universities and university hospitals.

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion.

Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

Striking visualisation of the global mobility divide! Also chance to highlight some relevant research... 🧵

There was lots of data to play with for #TidyTuesday this week where we're looking at the power of different passports! ✈️

I decided to try out the idea of using small multiples and highlighting to untangle a spaghetti chart with lots of lines 📊

#RStats #DataViz #ggplot2
Chart showing how rankings of passports have changed over time, split by region with top one in each highlighted. European are ranked high, and UAE has had a dramatic rise.

New JEMS #openaccess paper w/ @niwitte.bsky.social:

We show that EU citizens living abroad are less likely to vote in European elections due to bureaucratic obstacles such as early registration deadlines. This happens even for intra-EU movers who feel attached to the EU.

doi.org/10.1080/1369...
Casting votes or crossing borders? How living abroad reduces
mobile Europeans’ likelihood to participate in European
elections

ABSTRACT
Both freedom of movement and voting in European elections are
fundamental citizenship rights at the heart of European
integration. Ideally, EU citizens should be able to exercise both
rights simultaneously. Yet, in practice, tensions exist between the
two: Despite their strong emotional attachment to the European
Union, EU citizens living outside their country of citizenship have
a reduced likelihood to vote in European elections, even when
they reside within the EU. This article demonstrates this pattern
empirically for German emigrants in the 2019 European
Parliament election, based on data from the German Emigration
and Remigration Panel Study (GERPS). This survey is unique in
that it covers both mobile German citizens who currently live
abroad and those who have lived abroad, but have recently
returned to Germany. Self-reported turnout was significantly
reduced among those currently living abroad. Bureaucratic
hurdles (including early opt-in registration deadlines, complex
registration procedures, and tedious access to ballot) are
identified as a key explanation for the decreased participation.
These findings seem to contradict basic democratic principles and
could have political implications: Since there are more than
eleven million mobile EU citizens who are eligible to vote,
reduced turnout among this group could affect election outcomes. Figure 1 shows the registration deadlines, based on official EU information, for mobile Europeans who wanted to vote in the 2024 EP election, for all member states that provided such information. It reveals several major obstacles: First, the registration options and deadlines varied widely between EU member states. For example, Swedish citizens residing in Belgium had two choices: register to vote in Sweden by 16 May or to vote in Belgium by 29 February. Among the 13 member states that listed a registration deadline for their own nationals residing abroad, there were no fewer than twelve different registration dates (Figure 1, Panel A). In the case of registration deadlines for non-nationals, there were even 20 unique dates among the 20 different countries that listed a specific deadline. 4This multiplicity of rules requires mobile Europeans to actively search for the conditions that apply in their particular case and thus complicates their situation.
Crucially, many of these deadlines were very early. Several deadlines had already expired in March or earlier – multiple months before the election on 9 June 2024. The most extreme case concerns non-national EU citizens in Spain, who had to register more than four months before the election. This requirement creates a serious obstacle to participation in the election. Figure 2 displays the descriptive differences between the four groups under study. Among Germans who currently reside in other EU countries, the average self-reported turnout in the 2019 EP election was 54 percent (Panel A). This number is close to the actual average turnout of 51 percent in the European Union as a whole, but lower than the average turnout of 61 percent in the general German population (Swedish
National Election Studies Program 2019). Moreover, past intra-EU migrants (i.e. Germans who have lived in other EU countries and have since returned to Germany), who are a more meaningful reference group since they have comparable socio-demographic characteristics (similar level of education, age, etc.; cf. Online Appendix, Table A2), feature a self-reported turnout of 81 percent. Thus it seems that the probability
to vote for those currently residing abroad was suppressed by 28 percentage points compared with their counterparts who have returned to Germany. The turnout gap is even larger for global migrants: Germans who currently reside in a country outside the EU had only a 25 percent probability to vote in the past European election, compared with a turnout of 90 percent among past global migrants – a striking difference of 65 percentage points. Put differently, global migratory moves suppressed the turnout by 72 percent. Regression models corroborating the previous descriptive findings
